The cap of the oak podosinovyk:

Brick-red, brownish, 5-15 cm in diameter, in youth, like all boletus, spherical, “stretched” on the leg, as it grows, it opens, acquiring a pillow-like shape; overripe mushrooms can be generally flat, similar to an inverted pillow. The skin is velvety, noticeably extending beyond the edges of the cap, in dry weather and in adult specimens it is cracked, “checkerboard”, which, however, is not striking. The pulp is dense, white-gray, blurry dark gray spots are visible on the cut. True, they are not visible for long, because very soon the cut flesh changes color – first to blue-lilac, and then to blue-black.

Spora sosona:

Already in young mushrooms it is not pure white, with age it becomes more and more gray. The pores are small and uneven.

The leg of the oak tree:

Up to 15 cm long, up to 5 cm in diameter, continuous, evenly thickening in the lower part, often deep into the ground. The surface of the stem of the oak boletus is covered with fluffy brown scales (one of the many, but unreliable, distinguishing features of Leccinum quercinum).

Mihanaka:

Like the red boletus (Leccinum aurantiacum), the oak boletus grows from June to the end of September in small groups, preferring, unlike its more famous relative, to enter into an alliance with the oak. Judging by the reviews, it is somewhat more common than other varieties of red boletus, pine (Leccinum vulpinum) and spruce (Leccinum peccinum) boletus.

Karazana mitovy:

Three “secondary aspen mushrooms”, pine, spruce and oak (Leccinum vulpinum, L. peccinum and L. quercinum) originate from the classic red aspen (Leccinum aurantiacum). Whether to separate them into separate species, whether to leave them as subspecies – judging by everything that has been read, it is a private matter for every enthusiast. They differ from each other by partner trees, scales on the leg (in our case, brown), as well as a funny shade of a hat. I decided to consider them different species, because from childhood I learned this principle: the more boletus, the better.
